Pacific Forktail (Ischnura cervula)Observer
juliabondDescription
Water levels in Crystal Springs have gone up. The margin around the pond is wetter than in July and the inlet to the pond is substantially deeper. Given that it was a warm, mostly sunny day, the dragonfly activity at the site was very low. We saw very few individuals patrolling the water. The pond was particularly quiet.
